KK has endured a great deal in this industry . she comes from a dubious back ground and is now lolling in luxury thanx to her dances ( acting skills or no , KK has surely worked hard) . Surely she could not have reached this heights without enduring any harasement . It goes with the territory . Its too late to reveal all these names now .

She better have checked with Kat if she was ok with her saying this otherwise its really not fair. on one hand you say your friend doesnt want this to get out and on the other hand you are yourself spilling the beans. this is either really dumb or thoughtless on sonam's part :(
